Tell that to the people who were working on it and will now get laid off instead.

I’m sure some of the older game servers will be offline by now. Hopefully not Black Flag yet.

I’m enjoying Odyssey. I had 6 hours on the game from 2018, I decided to restart the game about a month ago, and now my total playtime is 82 hours. Last year I think I clocked about 10 hours on the Playstation in total. So this has definitely been a surprising amount of fun. I’m very driven by trophies and open world missions though.

I’m just wrapping up AC Odyssey. I’ll be heading back to Unity to finish it off soon. I still have a couple of things to finish in Black Flag, too.

I never really got into the online multiplayer aspects of AC. It really bugged me that they put trophies in the game on that, and now I can never plat the game.

I’m an Android developer, and I can’t think of a weirder place to do the job than at Apple. I bet it’s weird there.

Yeah, if they’re down for over three weeks then I imagine they’ll be forced to refund at least some of the PS+ price.

Last night I thought “this happened a few years ago, too, and we got free games as an apology” and now you tell me it was 14 YEARS ago!?

When Civ VIII rolls around they won’t send review copies to anyone who gave bad reviews last time.

Reviews like these are paid advertising.

All the people making the shitty decisions will be fine. Everyday people will be the ones to lose their jobs, as is always the way in these things. :-/

Don’t need a complex UI to list some games for 5 seconds before I start playing them.

So funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.

Average Lemmy user.

There’s dozens of us!

Oh good, I’ll dust mine off.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:

You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.

For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.

I’m saying: do what you gotta do

You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?

Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to play it with them for the first time in the last couple of months. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but that’s all I’ve got to go on.

DINERS! DRIVE-INS! AND DIVES!

Sorry, I have no idea, but couldn’t resist.

I agree, but that’s not reality, so I added some formatting.

Perhaps. I’m not trying to diagnose it, just making it readable for people like me.

Well, it’s not formatted properly in my client (Sync). I wouldn’t have gone to the effort if it was.

How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.

Mine turns 20 in 2 days. Yikes.

Don’t you want to crouch-walk around as MJ for half an hour?

Getting rid of Barbie and keeping Black Mirror. The headline seems incredibly weird to me.

There will be even fewer games that require a Pro than there are games that require the PS5 in the first place.

Potentially I’m just aging out of gaming a little bit, but I can’t name 10 exclusives for the PS5, and it’s been around for years.

Spider-Man 2 was fun, but not like $700 of fun.

Sensitive Content Warnings doesn’t allow Google access to the contents of your images, nor does Google know that nudity may have been detected

I’m not sure I 100% believe that. Or if it’s true now, I’m not confident it will remain so.

Yeah, better save battery at the time it’s most likely to be charged/charging. :-/

Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.

Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.

Not compared to using a console.

Precedent.

Oh cool! The first one was truly incredible. Looking forward to playing again. The scenery looks just as stunning as GoT.

I feel like I already got way more than my money’s worth out of the game, and I’m happy to have moved on to other games. Not every game has to last forever.

I scrolled through all the comments looking for a Red Dwarf reference. Thank you! :-)

Google made this available so they can encourage developers to use it and say “we’re not a monopoly, the developers are adding the check” and see how long they can get away with it.

Oh, ok then. Guess who didn’t read the article. :-)

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?

It seems like there’s no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.
